Under the willow tree by the river, Lu Songli and Qin Sheng were sitting side by side.
Qin Sheng took out a handful of raspberries from somewhere, stuffed them into her hand, and asked her to eat them.
Lu Songli asked him with a smile, "Am I the only one who has it?"
This handful of raspberries is big and plump. Lu Songli recognized that this was a palm-leaf raspberry. It was also the best-tasting variety among raspberries, with the sweetest taste.
Speaking of this exile, Lu Songli was most dissatisfied with the fact that there was no fruit to eat. In fact, even if there was no exile, in this era, there would be no fruits to eat in the winter.
"Eat it quickly." Qin Sheng refused to answer, directly picked up one and fed it to her mouth.
Lu Songli ate it with his hand, "Save some for the children?" This kind of raspberry is also very attractive to children.
Qin Sheng said seriously, "This is too sour. If the child eats it, it will be bad for the teeth." So he didn't keep it.
"Then you're not afraid of doing bad things to my teeth?"
Qin Sheng looked at her resentfully. She was so smart, she must have heard it. He searched for a long time on the mountain and found just this handful. If he shared it, he couldn't get more than two pieces per person. Bad guy, just like to tease him.
This was obviously sweet and sour, Lu Songli leaned on his shoulder and laughed non-stop.
Qin Sheng hugged her shoulders and his ears turned red.
Lu Songli ate one herself, and then she would feed him one.
Qin Sheng only ate one, then fed him and shook his head. He searched for a long time before he found such a small handful, and he couldn't bear to eat more.
Regardless of his refusal, Lu Songli would feed him one after eating two pills for herself. It was not enough to refuse. In the end, the two of them finished a handful of raspberries.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Lu Songli pulled him up and they walked back hand in hand. In order not to worry Mother Qin later, she would ask someone to come find them.
Returning to the shabby house where they stayed, Qin's mother happened to be standing in the yard, looking at the two holding hands with a smile, "You're back?"
Qin Sheng struggled, but Lu Songli didn't let go. He stopped moving, fearing that he might hurt her if he exerted too much force.
Lu Songli replied nonchalantly, "Yes, mother——"
Qin Sheng's face turned red and he forced himself to calm down.
"Mom, let's go in first." Lu Songli pulled her away to avoid burning her. She let go after entering.
It was another good night's sleep.
In the early morning, when the sky was still dark, Qin Sheng faintly felt that his right shoulder was being pressed, and there was hot breath coming out from the side of his neck. His right hand rested on a certain soft waist.
Now Qin Sheng is familiar with this situation. He has personally experienced that his wife's sleeping position is not good since the wedding night. During this period of exile, as long as the two of them slept next to each other before going to bed, no matter what happened the next day, most of her body would definitely roll into his arms in the morning.
The room was quiet, Qin Sheng was confused and didn't want to move. But the accident soon kept him awake.
In the morning, his brothers are always very energetic. Then it probably hit her, and she pushed it away with one hand while she was still immersed in sleep. It reset like a tumbler, and the two sides engaged in a tug-of-war.
Qin Sheng was woken up by her like this and was at a loss what to do.
Finally, she gave up the troublesome little brother who was so annoyed...
He stared at the person in his arms with wide eyes. The already agitated person in his arms was quiet for a while, and then slowly opened his eyes.
The two looked at each other, and the other person had...
At that moment, both of them breathed lightly.
Fortunately, the two of them were covered with quilts, and the broken Taoist temple was large enough, so the quilts were far enough apart from each other. Otherwise, people who came over would have guessed what happened if they looked like this.
"Good morning, haha——" Lu Songli slowly let go of her hand.
Qin Sheng felt it, and he was relieved at the same time, but also a little disappointed?
What she didn't expect was that after she let go of her hand, she came back and patted it with her backhand?
Qin Sheng's eyes widened when he was attacked, and then his handsome face turned red, "You..."
"What am I?" Lu Songli looked at him confidently and said to herself, her eldest baby's eldest baby is quite important.
"How could you do this?" Qin Sheng blushed so hard that he could bleed.
"How am I doing?" Lu Songli teased him. Is it wrong for her to take pictures of her own things? "Otherwise, will you touch it back?"
Touch it, touch it back? Qin Sheng was defeated, so he was not as thick-skinned as her.
Qin Sheng was about to say something else, but suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qin Jia rubbing her eyes.
"Get up." Qin Sheng motioned for her to get up.
"I can't afford it!" Lu Songli lied.
Qin Sheng motioned for her to look towards Qin Jia. When Lu Songli looked over, she met Qin Jia's curious gaze from a distance.
Finally, Lu Songli stopped teasing, and the two of them got up smoothly.
This morning, their breakfast was wild vegetable and lean meat porridge, white flour steamed buns, small pickles, and salted duck eggs.
There were dried and rare side dishes, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
Liu Erxi bought these pickles at Zhuangziyu Qianzhuang, where his cousin's home is located. There was a family in their village who was famous for their delicious pickles. As soon as he went there, he rounded up all the pickles they had picked this year. Because he was generous, the other party didn't keep a jar in his house and sold them all to him.
At that time, his cousin also asked the skilled women in Zhuangzi to help make the nougat and rice cakes.
He gave the method to his cousin. After the cousin learned it, he took the women and started working. Knowing that he was in a hurry, they worked overtime to make it for him.
Of course, it also had something to do with the generous wages he gave them. Later, he not only paid off their wages, but also left twenty kilograms of nougat and twenty kilograms of rice cakes for them to share. Twenty kilograms is not much, and each person can probably get half a kilogram for each item.
To his cousin, he also gave a generous thank you gift.
So when he was leaving later, many people came out to see him off, and they were very reluctant to part with him, a generous man.
Finally, Li Zheng from Yuqianzhuang told him that if he still had such work in the future, he should come directly to their Yuqianzhuang, and their Yuqianzhuang would assign him to handle it.
Liu Erxi himself didn't expect this.
Unlike Lu Songli and his friends, who lived a peaceful life, the Xie and Zhao family lived a very difficult life.
Xie Nan handed the small half basin of hot water in his hand to Zhao Yutan, "Sister-in-law, can you wipe your body for my cousin?"
This small half basin of hot water was made by using a cracked clay pot.
Xie Nan knew that his cousin Xie Zhan had always been a clean person, but after they were released from prison and exiled, they had never taken a bath.
At the beginning, the cousin was tortured and his health was not good. In addition, the relationship between the superintendent and the police officer at that time was tense with the prisoners from the Xie and Zhao families, so he did not have the conditions to take a hot bath.
After my cousin got better, he once discovered that he would take a piece of cloth dipped in snow water and lightly wipe his body.
The weather is getting hot now. Xie Nan knows that his cousin Xie Zhan is not feeling well. Now that he has the conditions, he will boil some hot water for his cousin.
In fact, he could not personally deliver the water to his cousin, or even serve him, but he just couldn't stand Zhao Yutan and deliberately ordered her to do things. Besides, the eldest cousin is her husband, isn’t it the right thing for her to serve her husband?
Xie Nan was dissatisfied with Zhao Yutan, the first cousin, and felt that she was not worthy of his first cousin.
Since Xie's family was in trouble, she has always been confused and has no resilience at all. The tribe was defeated, and so was she. In addition, as a wife, the first cousin suffered so much, and her care was also very sloppy. In short, I can’t do anything.
The most important thing is that he feels that if it weren't for her, if the hall sister-in-law had always been Lu Songli, then the Xie family would most likely have been able to avoid this disaster, or in other words, not only would the Xie family not have had this disaster , and is very likely to go further.
Because it was none other than Lu Songli who dragged the Xie family from their high position into the quagmire. If the other party was the young mistress of their Xie clan, would she still do this?
Zhao Yutan took the wooden basin slowly. She knew that she was not recognized by the Xie clan. Xie Nan's dissatisfaction was relatively mild, while others showed it more obviously.
She knew that the Xie family looked down upon her. Firstly, they were imprisoned just after they got married, and she had no time to show off her abilities. Secondly, these people were mean. She knew right in front of the prison door that it was Lu Songli who had sent them to prison. Even though she was like this, they still cared less about her in their hearts.
But why don't they think about it, Lu Songli is so capable, why is the Qin family still exiled?
